They're so tiny too! Mum would easily fit on a 50 cent coin so the bubbies are tiny! The babies will stay with mum until their first shed, then they will leave and fend for themselves. That's when I seperate them from mum. I have to keep her home very moist and humid ( humidity not too hard here LOL ) Otherwise the babies dry out and die. I also have to be very careful and not disturb her too much otherwise she may eat them too. But my chances are good because the black rock is a very quiet and docile scorp. I just had to call my Mum and tell her she's a "grandma" again!

LOL when they are big enough and can fend and feed themselves (can catch crickets without my help and the ones for sale in stores are small enough for them to eat) I will sell them They are spending a little bit of time off Mum at the moment but they always go back to her I'll separate them when they start staying off Mum. I love how in the pics ^ one of the babies is sitting on Mum's face LOL. When I checked in on them yesterday morning 4 babies were off Mum and sitting on the ground, in their little defensive stance....so scary HAHAHA I think they are starting to get hungry...I hope the pin head crickets I ordered come in today! They don't like crushed cricket
